Flem Water-Based Glue Review: A Beginner-Friendly Table Tennis Rubber Adhesive
This Issue: Flem Water-Based Rubber Glue — A Beginner’s Best Friend!
Brand Background
Flem is a table tennis equipment brand that entered the market aggressively in 2025. Rather than starting with professional blades or rubbers, they went straight for the accessories segment — expansion oil, anti-static film, edge tape, glue, and other peripheral gear — winning on value and quality, and carving out a nice niche in the market.
What Makes This Glue Stand Out
I’ve been using Flem’s water-based glue heavily for a while now — gone through several bottles — and I genuinely think it’s great, so I’m dedicating a post to recommend it:
- No harsh odor. No pungent ammonia smell. Just a normal, pleasant scent.
- Films up easily. Two coats go on cleanly and peel off without fuss.
- No bubbling. Almost impossible to brush in bubbles, which is a huge win for beginners learning to mount rubbers.
- Strong adhesion. Stickiness is comparable to Sauer and Troger glue. Unless there’s a coating on the sponge, it holds firmly.
- Great texture. Thickness is similar to Sauer and Troger — somewhere between DHS No. 15 glue and Ice Dragon glue. It spreads like silk: viscous but easy to push around, almost like a high-end lotion.
Bottom Line
Flem is a genuinely honest domestic brand. The price is affordable, the quality doesn’t cut corners. Budget price, mid-to-upper-tier performance.
